You're right. In this case though, I think the cons are notable because a proper balancing wasn't the basis of the decision because the cons weren't simply acknowledged as being worth the gains: They were outright dismissed as either overblown or fear mongering. Followed by a few years where there cons might have been minimized save for administrations that appear determined to get a hard Brexit, despite claims to the contrary.

It's rare to see anyone who holds a position that can accept any weaknesses in their position, or strengths in opposing views, despite that the real world is complex and positions relating to it will inevitably have pros and cons.
